Ive been living on boats for going on 3 years now and i honestly love it... i started out on a 34ft Silverton and now i live on my F36 Tricabin which to honestly say isnt much considering i pay $280 in rent every month for my own place. Up untill two weeks ago my Girlfriend actually lived with me fo...

On my F36 i replaced the old teak worn out steps with the fake wood plastic ones, went to home depot into the porch section and picked up one of the porch beams that they had for $16 which was 8 foot long and a little bit bigger then the original steps, a little bit of tinkering with the tools and i...

I have the same problem on the same vesel... only one difference is that i get a click when trying to flush the aft head... not the fwd... and i found and checked the pump seems to be working so i trully hope that it isnt jammed full o gold as that would deff. suck... that or the connections need to...

nice looking boat, I think I have been in California too long, when I looked at the photos I see the guy with a cigarette in a public place, under a suspended load with no blocks or stands, open can of paint, no tyvek suit, respirator or safety glasses, no vapor recovery nozzle on the fuel hose, .....

not to far, to the shipping lane and back... about 2 miles or so each way so it wasnt to horible of a test run

The torn canvas is from Irene BTW... will need to get that fixed up... don't feel like buying a new canvas so ill just probably replace peaces as needed

ok so the boat got in the water last night and we hit a few snags lol, the port side carb is spitting fuel as the floats are stuck (will be rebuild tomorrow) and the STBD side fuel pump has gone out as soon as we pulled up to the fuel dock,,,, also the seal on the shaft is leaking a little bit but i...

Not sure what you mean by the "overhead" but I am referring to the support under the aft cockpit. This was a problem area for the cockpit version of the tri cabin. The design provides scupper holes in the transom. The seal between the aft edge of the teak deck and the fiberglass hull at t...

welcome

I just got one a week ago as well and it will be used as a live aboard as well lotsa nifty little gadgets on that boat to explore

Ran into the same problem with my F36 Yest... the generator battery died and needed recharge, my boat is equipped with Sentry chargers and the one for the generator wasn't hooked into it when i purchased it... as far as the pumps go mine is completely differently set up and cant help you there howev...

vitaliy, welcome aboard. Just acouple of things that may help you out. You may want to check the year of your boat. I do not think they built a 1977 with the cockpit. Before doing any work on the cockpit sole check the supports under them. They could be rotted and may need replacing. This will chan...

For shore power you need a 250V 50amp to twin 30 amp splitter . Big blocks are not common but there are a few tricabins around with big blocks i ordered the power splitter on amazon from $180 but im just trying to figure out which side powers exactly what... i figure the one side is just for the ac...

Wink Laughing Laughing actually...after i got the silverton, a LOT of things DID go wrong/break and the repairs were not cheap. however, after the water pump was replaced and i changed the oil and filters (with help),...

i just took an accidental quick glance at the back deck pic and it made me have the chills on the amount of wood work that i need to do... any advice or ideas on how to go about this? varnish or teak oil? i know how to prep the wood just don't know whats better for the finishing coat....

Thanks Guys :) both of my boats are kept right next to each other in Norfolk Virginia by Little Creak Naval base I'm not sure what the original motors for the vessels were however the guy who had it before the guy i got it from (the original owner) kept EXTREMELY great tabs and logs... he has all th...
